2018 Pavillon La Tourelle Bordeaux Rouge

A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, this Bordeaux red is clean, fruity, and round on the palate and boasts supple tannins. Its vivid ruby colors and intense red fruit and berry flavors exemplify the traditional characteristics of a distinguished Bordeaux blend. Situated in the southwest near the Atlantic, Bordeaux is France’s largest vineyard for appellation wines. It is crossed by the Garonne and Dordogne rivers and enjoys a temperate maritime climate. Watered by the Atlantic and dried beneath the coastal sun, the vineyards here produce quality wines blended by expert winemakers. The region’s diverse terroir produces an infinite palette of flavors. After being harvested and pressed, the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve its delicate fruity aromas. With a full bouquet of black cherries, currant, fig, dried herbs, and chocolate, this rich Bordeaux blend suits fatty, savory meats like steak, lamb, pork, or duck. Enjoy this wine slightly chilled, just below room temperature.
